Losing weight can be fun!
A new study, published in the "Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism" journal has shown that interactive video game stationary cycling (GameBike) is as efficient as stationary cycling to music for losing weight.
This was observed in a group of thirty overweight or obese adolescents aged 12-17 years, who were stratified by gender and randomized to video game or music condition to complete two 60-min sessions a week for 10 weeks.
Both interventions produced significant improvements in submaximal indicators of aerobic fitness as measured by a graded cycle ergometer protocol. Also, when collapsed, the exercise modalities reduced body fat percentage and total cholesterol.
